here is a drawing that i did last month of pattie boyd and george harrison. it's based on this photograph.
i miss drawing a lot. i mean, i still do quite a bit of doodles and quick sketches and i've been starting to paint again, but i just always feel like i'm not drawing enough. i guess i feel like that about a lot of things. i never do anything that i really want to do.

in other news, i don't know if i ever mentioned it on this blog, but i'm part of the juvenilia team now. you can see all the stuff that i make for them here. also, i'm working on photo posts for this blog, so those should start up again fairly soon.

i hope you are all having nice days and lovely lives. sometimes i wish i could hug everyone on the internet, even the people that i don't know, so i wrap my arms around my monitor and pretend like i'm doing just that. sometimes i wish i could hug everyone in the world, even the people i don't know, so i wrap my arms around my sister's globe and pretend like i'm doing just that.

july third:
what is it about shoes that makes me feel so goddamn nostalgic? i mean, i had that pair of forever 21 saddle shoes for about a year and a half and i walked them into the ground, but no matter how pretty the replacements were, i still felt like i lost a piece of myself when i picked them up from payless. and i hate to admit it, but i couldn't bring myself to get rid of those old ones. they're hiding in my closet still. most of july was a mess of emotions and confusion and feeling really lonely even when i had a lot.
later on that day--a late night trip to barnes and noble with gabrielle and liam and lexi.
